All Mountaineers members and the general public are invited to attend the Everett Branch Open House.

Guest speakers will be brothers and co-authors Nathan and Jeremy Barnes, who will present their new guide, "Alpine Lakes Wilderness: The Complete Hiking Guide". The all-new guide features a wide range of hikes that vary in difficulty, geography, and theme so that hikers of any age and skill level will find trails that fit their taste. This lush guidebook includes details on overnight permits, car-camping options near wilderness access points, detailed maps, elevation gain/ loss, and turn-by-turn mileage and directions. Interesting historical background and natural history round out the trail descriptions.
